Boca Raton, FL.- Y’all thought we were finished?

Following this afternoon’s NCAA Tournament selection, bids for the NIT and CBI tournaments have flown out. Moments ago, Florida Atlantic, who finished the regular season 18-15 and 6th in the American Conference has accepted their formal invite to the NIT Tourney.

It has just been announced that Florida Atlantic will host Dayton on Wednesday, March 19, with tipoff slated for 7:00 P.M. Despite Dayton’s higher seed, this game will be played in Boca Raton due to Dayton hosting the “First Four” Tournament games the same week. The home court advantage of the “Ely” is the perfect opportunity for the Owls to steal a win over Flyers.

Now adding a post season bid into the mix, year one of the John Jakus era of FAU Basketball continues to impress the Owl faithful.
